Answer:
Dilation factor = 0.75.
Step-by-step explanation:
One point on the xy-plane is (-24,-12). The transformation is the dilation which is done on the point and the image is given by (-18,-9). Dilation changes the size of the shape according to the dilation factor. If the original x-coordinate is -24, then the image will be calculated by multiplying the original point with the dilation factor. Therefore, -18= -24 * k, where k is the unknown dilation factor. Simply solve the equation for k.
24k = 18.
k = 18/24 = 3/4 = 0.75.
Similarly, 12k = 9. k = 9/12 = 3/4 = 0.75.
So the point (-24,-12) dilated by k=0.75 to get to (-18,-9)!!!
E. None of the above. -16b = 3, divide both sides by -16, b = -3/16
